The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

For anyone interested, I just added a couple of videos to my YouTube channel. It's been a while since I've had an opportunity to create and post any videos.

Anyway, the first one is a hard to find electric Edison Diamond Disc, #52542 "When I'm Walkin' With My Sweetness (Down Among The Sugar Cane)" by the Golden Gate Orchestra (California Ramblers), recorded March 8, 1929. The vocals are by long time band manager, Ed Kirkeby.

I had never found this Edison Diamond Disc in many years of searching in the wild (I don't participate in record auctions) and then just recently I purchased a group of Edison DD's and this one was in the group! It's a very difficult to find Edison record.

And the second video features Billy Murray on Edison Blue Amberol #2087, "Ever Since You Told Me That You Loved Me". A fairly uncommon selection on Edison Blue Amberol by Murray (I have just one other copy and this one is in far superior condition).

For those who decide to watch these I hope that you enjoy them.

I would love to have that Golden Gate Orchestra record. Really a fine record. I went to You Tube and binged on the GGO. So many great records!! Thanks for posting.

Also love these late GGO recordings, this one is a real nice number, great solos!
